3. Typology is the classification of languages according to their structural features. One way of classifying languages is according to the genetic relationships among them; that is, according to their historical origin. Such a classification is typological, and a typological classification is, in principle, entirely independent of the histories of the languages involved—though languages which are genetically rather closely related, naturally, are often also very similar typologically. 3.
